I'm guessing unrelated stories but you never now- Iowa Cosplay convention in da house!!!!   The lobby of the Coralville Marriott Hotel and Conference Center this past weekend was filled with visitors, which is not an unexpected sight. The unusual came in the manner that many of those guests had chosen to adorn themselves. There were wigs of nearly every color, fuzzy ears and even fuzzier tails, full-length dresses, capes, masks and props of all shapes and sizes. This was the scene at the AnimeIowa 2014 convention, which opened it’s doors for the 18th year to more than 3000 participants, many of whom chose to Cosplay at the three day event. “What draws people to Cosplay is nothing new. It’s the expression of fandom,” said Sean Eike in an email, who is organizing Iowa Cosplay for the Wizard World Comic Con tour coming to Des Moines in 2015. “Some people wear sports jerseys, some people only buy Prada and then some people dress up like their favorite super heroes or cartoon character.” link Iowa City Police are investigating a shots fired incident on the Ped Mall. Officials say it happened just after 1:30 a.m. on Sunday near The Union Bar. Police say someone fired several shots into the air. They later found a black male juvenile in a white shirt with a loaded pistol about 2 blocks south of where the gunshots were fired. Police say he admitted to firing the shots. The juvenile was charged with Reckless Use of a Firearm, Carrying Weapons, Going Armed with Intent, and Intimidation with a Dangerous Weapon. Witnesses say another black male wearing dark clothing was also seen running from the area at the time of the shooting, but no other arrests have been made. link |

What are the odds the youngster involved in this was one of the young men Hizzoner Daley helped move out of Chicago? |

Davenport is a far western suburb. I mean hell, it is just as close to being socio-culturally "Chicago" as Aurora is. Sorry, pal, I draw the line of Chicago burbs at Princeton. Line is there because mah buddy was born in Princeton, moved to Champagne, IL in liek 5th grade, then the U in 10th grade, then lived in Chicago for 3 years from liek 21-24 or so and has otherwise lived in Neck Moines. But when he moved back to Neck Moines liek in 2002 or so, he promptly got a tattoo that says "Sweet Home Chicago" referring of course to his upbringing in thugged out Princeton. Davenport is relatively close to Waterloo and Waterloo is centrally located for gang turf wars from Minneapolis, Chicago, Kansas City and thugged out Omaha. So if the 'Loo is up for grabs, Davenport can't be part of the Chicago burbs. |

At least in D-Prolt, Iowa grads are working decent jerbs like business accounting for a garage door company, or monitoring customer accounts for a public utility. In Aurora, the Iowa grads are bar tending and working 29.75 hours a week at a day care center. |
